Code 128 (GIF)

The program creates 2D barcode symbols of Data Matrix, Aztec and QR code in vector graphic.

The top left symbol is created by a minimized path shape, the top right (if present) by many single squares.

The QR barcode in the middle is a transparent GIF image and the bottom Aztec barcode is a canvas PNG.

An additional SVG filter is applied on the first barcode.

The blocks (cells) of all symbols are equal in size.

Features

+ Creates Data Matrix in square or rectangular pattern.

+ Creates QR or micro QR barcode symbols.

+ Creates Aztec, compact Aztec or Aztec rune barcodes.

+ Scalable Vector Graphic or PNG/GIF pixel image output.

+ One short and compact program for all barcodes.

+ Available for office programs Excel, Access and Calc.

+ Automatic mode encoding and barcode size selection.

+ Algorithm could be easily adapted to individual requirements.

+ Free and open-source software program.

no size optimization for mixed data types in one symbol.

no handling of special codes like FNC1 or ECI.

Advantages

Universal: runs on every browser, operating system or platform.

Flexible: outputs vector or pixel images in adjustable design.

Adaptable: modify or convert simple source code to your own desire.

Download

The barcode program is free and open source software.

The algorithm is available as Jasvascript: barcode.js.

For MS Office it is available as Excel: barcode.xlsm and Access: barcode.accdb.

And for Open/LibreOffice it is available as Calc: barcode.ods.

Go do something cool with it.
